Laser Hair Removal ? general information
For those who follow fashion, and there are many who do, body hair removal is not a choice.
Today's fashions demand a smooth, hair free body. And it seems that many women (and some men) will go to any lengths to get rid of what society says is "unsightly" body hair.
There are many methods, both old and new, to body hair removal, from shaving and plucking, to electrolysis and the latest trend, laser hair removal.
Each method has its advantages and disadvantages.
There are several factors to consider when deciding which is the best method for you.
A key factor to you may be cost --- laser hair removal is not cheap, but neither is electrolysis.
And how much do you spend weekly (or twice weekly) on having a wax treatment? Laser hair removal does diminish and weaken hair re-growth, meaning you need less treatment.
Another factor you may wish to consider is the pain involved.
This is a tricky one, because every individual perceives pain differently, and each person has a different pain threshold.
Some people report feeling a mild pinching during treatment, others say it feels like being zapped with an elastic band.
Others experience no pain or discomfort at all.
Another concern may be time.
Shaving every couple of days can eat into your time and is messy, not to mention painful if you slip with the razor.
Re-growth from shaving is quick, and the stubble tends to be sharp and prickly.
Electrolysis is painful as well as expensive and exceptionally time consuming, since each individual hair is targeted.
Re-growth is often mentioned as a problem in connection with electrolysis.
Another consideration is whether you are considered a good candidate for laser hair removal.
Despite the hype and misinformation on the internet, it is not a miracle cure for all.
Most types of cosmetic laser machines target melanin.
This is the pigment or color in your skin and hair.
Therefore those people whose skin is dark, i.e. those with more melanin in their skin, may find they experience skin discoloration after undergoing this type of laser treatment.
The ideal candidate for this non-invasive treatment is therefore someone with pale skin and dark hair.
Typically the Irish combination of fair almost white skin, with dark brown or black hair and blue eyes is considered the most suitable type. The laser beam can clearly distinguish the dark hair (containing melanin) from the light skin.
But do not lose heart if laser hair removal is your last hope of keeping your skin smooth and silky.
There are techniques which a skilled technician can apply to help maximize the efficiency of the treatment, and minimize the risks. Check out the links on this website to find a local skilled and qualified technician in your area.

Permanent Cosmetic Convention in Atlantic City Focuses on Technician Education and Safe Protocols
Permanent Cosmetics is a largely unregulated field, with little or no formal standards or licensing. Consumer questions abound on the safety and quality of treatments and how to gauge a technician's qualifications. As more and more woman discover permanent cosmetics, the most common question is, "Are You licensed?"
Often they are told, "Yes" or "I am certified." Truth be told, almost no one is, because few states offer or require
licensing or education before performing permanent cosmetic application.
Many individuals in the field are concerned about setting standards, such as Roxanne Zarafonetis, CNMT, PA who is a Johns Hopkins Hospital trained Nuclear Medicine Technologist who entered the field of permanent cosmetics 15 years ago before todays' unregulated
"certification" schools, and allergic pigments were on the scene.In an effort to help set allied health compatible standards, Ms. Zarafonetis has acted as an advisor to the Board of Cosmetology...

Fuel Cells & Alternative Fuel Vehicles
FUEL CELLS & ALTERNATIVE FUEL VEHICLESThe history of the fuel cell can be traced back to the 19th century. Since then the development and usage of fuel cells in a variety of applications have come a long way. Fuel cells hold great promise for fueling alternative fuel vehicles. Here is some of the history of the development of fuel cells:William Grove invented the fuel cell in 1839. General Electric invented proton exchange membrane fuel cells in the 1950s Francis Bacon demonstrated a 5kW alkaline fuel cell in 1959.
NASA's use of fuel cells during the Apollo space missions in the 1960s was the first commercial use of fuel cells. Alkaline fuel cells have flown over 100 missions and operated for more than 80,000 hours in spacecrafts operated by NASA. The US Navy has been using fuel cells in submarines since the 1980s Fuel cell buses are running in several cities around the world, the largest being the European Union backed CUTE project (Clean Urban Transport for Europe). All major...
